Monterey Bay Aquarium Tickets for FREE!
Parking in the Cannery Row Parking Garage will run you $1.50 per half-hour.
So spending 3 hours at the Monterey Aquarium plus an hour lunch will run you $9 (the first hour is free). That’s a bowl of the best clam chowder in Monterey!
Free Parking and a Short Scenic Walk to the Monterey Aquarium!
Take Wave Street which becomes Ocean View Blvd. You’ll pass the aquarium on your right side and the Tin Cannery Mall on your left.
Drive just a couple of minutes. There will be FREE all day street parking after the parking signs end.
The walk to the Monterey Aquarium is mere 5-7 minutes on the recreational trail. The coastal views and fresh air are the perfect pre-show to the Monterey Aquarium.
You’ll also get to see the harbor seals on the beach next to the Hopkins Marine Lab. A great way to start your aquarium trip!

Peak season during the Summer months will be overly crowded. For your best Monterey Aquarium experience, make plans to be at the aquarium right when it opens (usually 9:30am). Being there early will almost guarantee a spot in the FREE parking on Ocean View Blvd.
Happy Saving!
